My film was a piece about a girl who is driven into madness by the abuse she suffered from her father, and the neglect of her mother towards these ‘abuse sessions’. One particular ‘session’ tips the lead character, Katie, over the edge and she chooses to blind herself rather than face looking at herself in the mirror everyday, knowing what is happening to her.
The film is aimed at teenagers, both male and female, as it is a type of psychological horror film and I feel that it is this group of people who will enjoy my film most. As the piece is only two minutes long, it needs to be gripping and grab the attention of the audience; however, after looking back at my piece I feel that it seems a tad bland, and could use more work.
I feel that the storyline of my story was not clearly represented in the two minutes, seeing as my film begins after the ‘incident’ has occurred – the film is intended to be looking back at the downfall of a teenage girl, and I started the beginning with the end. Without the rest of the film to see, the piece does not seem to make much sense, sadly.
Also, though I had intended not to use music in my piece as I wanted more attention to be drawn to the speech between my characters, I think if I were to remake the piece I would definitely include music next time; it would add a more dramatic element to the action going on, and would add substance to the silent moments.
In all, I think that my piece needs more work regarding the camera angles, as they seem rather plain, and music should be included next time. Also, the storyline needs more work, and I should’ve thought it through more thoroughly.
